Vicious male counterpart isn’t competing anymore [Rebirth]

Chapter 129.1

Editor: Jodi

“Why?” Lu Si Ying was a little stunned.

“No reason, I just don’t want to help.” After being reborn, Yan Hao had no more reservations. He wouldn’t do things he didn’t want to do just to please his mother, praying for that bit of motherly love that he would never receive, so he didn’t even bother to look for a reason.

After saying this, he even felt a sense of liberation.

“Xiao Fei is your little brother, and Mingxuan is his boyfriend. Not to mention that Mingxuan got injured while defending the Federation; he’s a hero of the Federation….”

“Mother, from childhood to now, I’ve always hated Yan Fei.” Yan Hao interrupted Lu Si Ying’s impassioned words. These words had been useful when he cared about Lu Si Ying, but now that he didn’t, they sounded like nonsense to him.

Lu Si Ying frowned and was about to speak when Yan Hao interrupted her again: “I hate him, so I won’t help him, even if you force me.”

“Yan Hao, what are you saying?” Lu Si Ying couldn’t believe what she was hearing. How dare he speak to her like that? What did he mean by even if she forced him?

Yan Hao ignored her anger and continued, “As for Sima Mingxuan, if he’s a hero of the Federation and is injured, the Federation has level 10 Pharmacists and the best medical teams. What is there that could possibly require me, a student who switched to Mech Building halfway and isn’t even a level 3 Pharmacist to help with treatment?”

That’s right, wasn’t Mingxuan the future heir of the Sima Legion? As one of the Federation’s three major legions, how could the Sima Legion not have top tier Pharmacists?

Thinking this way, Lu Si Ying decided not to bring up the matter of asking him to help anymore. However she still scolded him, “Yan Hao, you always say that your dad and I prefer Xiao Fei, but look at yourself, you’re petty, selfish and competitive. Which part about you is likable?”

“You’re right, so it’s right that you don’t like me and you don’t have to like me in the future and I won’t get angry because you like Yan Fei more. In the future, everything at home, whether it’s connections or money, you guys can give it all to Yan Fei. I won’t compete anymore.”

“What do you mean, you want to cut ties with the family?” Yan Hao’s indifferent attitude pissed her off completely.

She was angry again?

Yan Hao sighed helplessly as he said somewhat tiredly. “When I compete with Yan Fei, you guys get angry. When I don’t compete with him, you still get angry. Why?”

Lu Si Ying was speechless, unable to answer this question. However she still felt suffocated and in the end, stormed out angrily, slamming the door.

It was finally quiet.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Yan Hao washed his hands then picked up the mech on the table and continued to clean it. After which he disassembled the parts then began reassembling them one by one. It wasn’t known how long he had been assembling the parts when suddenly the terminal of his light brain vibrated.

Yan Hao glanced at the screen, then his eyes suddenly lit up, a sweet smile appearing on his cool little face. “Senior.”

The person calling was Sheng Heng. He was in a casual white attire, with a towel hanging over his shoulder and his hair still damp, as if he had just taken a shower. “Where are you?”

Sheng Heng couldn’t help but ask when he saw that his surroundings were neither the school’s dormitory nor the Federal Research Institute’s.

“I’m at home.” Yan Hao told him.

“At home? You went back to Z Star Planet?” Sheng Heng realized immediately.

“En.”

“What’s going on?” Sheng Heng was aware that Yan Hao no longer had any emotional attachment to his biological family and so had no intention of returning. Moreover when he left Capital Star Planet, Yan Hao had told him himself that he was going to intern at Old Zhong’s Research Institute, so how was it that he arrived at the base and Yan Hao had also returned to Z Star Planet at the same time?

Yan Hao naturally had no reason to hide anything from Sheng Heng, so he explained the situation to him. After listening, Sheng Heng’s smile faded, replaced by a look of concern. “Sima Mingxuan went to your home too?”

“En.” Yan Hao nodded.

“Then did he say anything or make any demands on you?” Sheng Heng asked him.

“Why do you ask this?”

“Two days ago, the base caught a spy. That spy was caught while trying to steal big brother’s medication.” Sheng Heng explained. “That medication was configured by you specifically to stabilize big brother’s mental energy, so it won’t be useful to others. However within the entire Federation, there’s also only one person with a condition similar to big brother’s.”

“Sima Mingxuan?” Yan Hao had figured it out by now. “No wonder my mother asked me to help Yan Fei calculate the formula just now.”

“He approached you?”

“It’s my mother who came to me, asking me to help calculate a formula for Yan Fei. How about I take a look at the prescription? Maybe I might be able to tell if the spy was sent by Sima Mingxuan.” Yan Hao said.

“No, it doesn’t matter where the spy comes from. Among the three major legions, each has spies in the major legions, so it’s not a big deal. Sima Mingxuan is cunning, and his mental energy is unstable right now, so we absolutely can’t let him discover that you’re Little Cutie.” Sheng Heng warned. Then he suddenly frowned, “Wait, Sima Mingxuan has seen you treat my mental energy, so he might have already guessed that you’re Little Cutie.”

Yan Hao’s current identity was that of a Mech Builder, so even though he had some talent in Pharmacy, others wouldn’t think of him as particularly skilled. Moreover there were many speculations about Little Cutie, one of them being that Little Cutie was at least a level 8 Pharmacist. Yan Hao was just a sophomore, what’s more one who was specializing in Mech Building, so no one would likely associate him with Little Cutie, a level 8 Pharmacist.

But Sima Mingxuan had seen Yan Hao treat his mental energy twice in person, especially the incident on the Resource Planet, where Yan Hao had healed the damage to his sea of consciousness, and Sima Mingxuan was well aware of the extent of his injuries from that incident. What’s more during the summer vacation, it was after Yan Hao had visited the base that his big brother’s mental energy level had advanced smoothly. A series of coincidences, combined with Sima Mingxuan’s suspicious nature, might lead him to suspect Yan Hao.

It was even possible that Yan Hao’s mother’s sudden visit to Capital Star Planet to bring him back to Z Star Planet wasn’t just a coincidence.

“Xiao Hao, I’ll leave early tomorrow morning to come to you.” Sheng Heng said immediately without even thinking.

“Huh?” Yan Hao was a little bewildered. Why was he suddenly coming over?

“For the next few days, try to limit your contact with Sima Mingxuan.” Sheng Heng urged him uneasily. In terms of cunning, even ten Yan Haos weren’t a match for Sima Mingxuan. What’s more Yan Hao’s family originally didn’t care much about him and might even help Sima Mingxuan bully him. Thinking of this, Sheng Heng hated that there wasn’t a teleportation portal to get him there immediately.

“Then if you come over, what about the testing of Rebirth?” Rebirth was the level 6 Mech made by Yan Hao.

“I’ll leave the testing to big brother. Compared to me, the ordinary soldiers within the Legion are the best test subjects and I’ve already handed your weapon design plans to the Mech Department and they are evaluating it. If the tests prove successful, mass production will begin soon.” Sheng Heng told him.

“Actually, it’s fine if you don’t come over. I’ll just wait for a couple of days until my father returns, then after I meet with him, I’ll find an excuse to leave here.” Yan Hao had no intention of staying at home for the entire half month.

If Sheng Heng were to come over from Planet S36, it would take three days just for the flight, and maybe by that time he might already be preparing to leave.

“The last time Sima Mingxuan killed the level nine zerg, he was unconscious for three full days, and his mental energy has been unstable ever since. This time that he’s gone to Z Star Planet, it’s definitely because of you, so it might not be easy for you to leave.” If the Sima Legion could spy and gather information on Sheng Zhuo, then the War God Legion could undoubtedly do the same and learn about Sima Mingxuan’s condition, so Sheng Heng didn’t try to paint an optimistic picture of Yan Hao’s current situation.

“Be good, stay there obediently for three days, and if Sima Mingxuan looks for you, don’t refuse forcefully. Just beat around the bush and wait for me to arrive.” Sheng Heng told him.

“Okay.” Seeing Sheng Heng’s serious expression, Yan Hao nodded obediently. Besides, they hadn’t had a chance to spend quality time together after their brief meeting last time, and Yan Hao also missed him a little. “There’s a particularly tasty snack on Z Star Planet. When you come, I’ll take you to try it.”

“Alright.” Sheng Heng nodded, his handsome face filled with anticipation.
